Abstract
Provided is a communication apparatus including: an encoder with a plurality of channels configured to encode an input stream while switching a rate of output data in at least two stages; and a wireless communication apparatus that transfers output of the encoder to a terminal by way of a wireless communication network, in which, when a channel is selected at the terminal, output of the encoder is switched from a low-rate stream to a high-rate stream such that the high-rate stream is transmitted to the terminal at which the channel has been selected.
